Bent Valves?

This won't be covered under warranty.

Driver error is not the dealership's fault.

 

LMAO...that is only a nice sound when you actually have Spec C's in the car...

You definitely have bent valves and the clutch could be fried as well...

 

I had to read the original post, five times to find the part about Spec C's.

Paragraphs make things easier to read.

 

Phony warranty claims make it harder for the rest of us with squeaking driver's seats, loose dipstick t00bs, and temperamental synchros to get our legitimate problems fixed...

 

Damn this board whent form getting cars stolen to bent valves all of a sudden. Damn I hope I never do this

 

So do I... I have yet to mis-shift, and pray I don't any time soon. *knocking on wood*

 

I am gonna say bent valve(s) too!

 

Word. I have a question of my own, are our clutches hydraulic?

 

I was thinking the same thing... clutch problem with trani... And I believe the 98-2001 is hydrolic.

 

What year and how many miles?

 

Yes

G2's were cable

 

Bent valves and a dying pressure plate.

I've done this a few times. I am guessing you have some bent valves, and the rivetes that hold the pressure plate together broke, that why you cant get into gear. If it is a stock pressure plate, I will bet money on it. I have broken three. Ryan

 

mine did the same thing when i misshifted.. i bent 6 valves and broke 2 valve guiders....

try to fix it yourself..... fk acura..

 

my car is a 2001 with 10000miles

and by the way my problem is fixed, my cuz is a mechanic and he took a fast look at it and told me its the valve adjustement

he adjusted the valve and the problem was gone, now I have to shop for a new clutch, be cause mine was tosted

 

Your'e lucky all that all it needed was a valve adjustment and a new clutch. It could have been much, much worse.

 

That might have fixed it for the moment, but you still very well could have bent some valves. Get a leak down test to be sure you don't have any problems in future.

 

yeah you could be driving down the freeway and one of those bent valves might decide to drop in your cylinder and do the twist with one of your pistons. But I will tell you I missed shifted my ls/vtec from third to second and it went to at least 10k but only broke the clutch so you might have gotten lucky. But I don't think so

 

I wish you the best of luck, but don't be retarded...get a leakdown so you won't have to be sorry later on.....

 

i bent my valves my first mishift. then 7 months later i did it again and broke the pressure plate. oh well. as D would say. they were all wear items.

 

thanks guys for the support, ill make shure that the valve are ok.... I already checked and there was no leak after the incident.

Im changing my valve train for toda along with the c or b camshaft later this summer. This will be a good moment to buy new ferrea valve and do some headwork.

what kind of clutch is good for a toda c or b setup....I was thinking, clutchmaster stage 3 with aluminum flywheel

 

lol
